chius' words(1328)) _non licere nobis, aliis externi
cultus ceremoniis Deum colere, quam quas ipse in sacris literis per
apostolis proescripsit, firma ac certa manet_.

_Sect._ 12. 12. Whatsoever indifferency the ceremonies could be thought to
have in their own nature, yet if it be considered how the church of
Scotland hath once been purged from them, and hath spued them out with
detestation, and hath enjoyed the comfortable light and sweet beams of the
glorious and bright shining gospel of Christ, without shadows and figures,
then shall it appear that there is no indifferency in turning back to weak
and beggarly elements, Gal. v. 9. And thus saith Calvin(1329) of the
ceremonies of the _interim_, that granting they were things in themselves
indifferent, yet the restitution of them in those churches which were once
purged from them, is no indifferent thing. Wherefore, O Scotland!
"strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die," Rev. iii. 2.
Remember also from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first
works; or else thy candlestick will be quickly removed out of his place,
except thou repent, Rev. ii. 5.

THE END.
